First off, I was sucked into the movie. I mention this, because so few movies grab my attention.
I think the acting was pretty good. Ever since Die Hard, I always liked the actor who played the father. The son was perfectly fine as well. I really liked City Hall, but the plot called for little of her. I think the mom could have shown a little more emotion, but otherwise solid. Really, I can't criticize the acting here.
The plot was not particularly innovative, but had a few interesting tweaks.
The camera work seemed pretty standard. I think the modern technique calls for a lot more camera movement, which I don't always care for.
Parts of the movie were a bit disturbing. That's a personal thing, and what I found disturbing, others may have found amusing.
My main complaint was that the movie seemed to shift a bit late in the movie. It felt like they ran out of time and had to cram a ton of stuff into the last 30 minutes. It wasn't that I was lost. I followed the story. But it was a bit unsatisfying. Had the final 30 minutes of the film been more solid, I think maybe I would have given it a 6 out of 10.
